We've just had Debbie Reynolds in London in a truly amazing one woman show and now we are to get her daughter in October for 4 weeks.
Debbie tells the audience who may be too young to know her brilliant early career, at the top of the show, 'Hello, I'm Princess Lea's mother! No? OK I'm in 'Will & Grace'! and the audience roared as she teased them with the lines 'no panties, look no panties'
There is a possibility that Ms Reynolds will bring her show back to London and the two of them may find themselves on the London stage at the same time just streets apart!

Posted: 5/16/10 at 2:27amThis news makes me so happy. I really enjoyed reading Wishful Drinking and had a total blast at the show. Fisher somehow balances the humorous wisecracking with the sublime wisdom to create one of my favorite events of the season.

Re: MamasDoin'Fine...I am absolutely obsessed with Debbie as Bobbi Adler. So jealous.
And I'm so excited for this! I loved the book (read it 3 times) and missed it in NY.

Speaking of Carrie and the UK, Carrie was a guest on the second series of Dr Pamela Stephenson's "Shrink Rap" show. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7k7--W0xFM
This Carrie ep of Shrink Rap was far more insightful than the book, imo.

Totally SUCKS the entire one-woman show isn't being used. They are filming 2 performances but will ONLY be using snippets and clips from these filmings incorporated into a feature-length HBO documentary on Carrie Fisher. The entire show isn't being used.

Posted: 6/2/10 at 1:21pmI hadn't heard that. If true, it kind of sucks, but really, the entire show plus another hour exists as an audio recording (the audiobook version).

Today, BroadwayWorld has learned that the June 25 performance will be filmed live for television as a feature-length documentary by HBO and World of Wonder Productions. The special will combine elements of her one-woman stage performance, taped before the live audience at SOPAC, with archival footage and interviews with friends and family.
